Experiment architect

Abstract

A method implements an experiment architect. The method includes receiving an entity identifier; searching a plurality of result graphs using the entity identifier to identify a file comprising content corresponding to the entity identifier; and presenting a figure from the file in response to identifying the file.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 receiving an entity identifier;   searching a plurality of result graphs using the entity identifier to identify a file comprising content corresponding to the entity identifier;   presenting a figure from the file in response to identifying the file,
 wherein the plurality of result graphs comprises a result graph generated from the file and corresponding to the figure. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving the entity identifier in response to a user selection of the entity identifier.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving the entity identifier in response to processing a user selection to identify the entity identifier.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving the entity identifier in response to a user selection of an alias of an entity corresponding to the entity identifier.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving the entity identifier,
 wherein the entity identifier corresponds to an entity node of the result graph and corresponds to an entity record of an ontology library, and 
 wherein the entity record defines an entity as one of a protein, a gene, a disease, a cell line, a cell type, a tissue, a pathway, an organism, a chemical, and an application. 
   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 searching the plurality of result graphs to identify an entity node, of the result graph, corresponding to the entity identifier.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 presenting an evidence view adjacent to a results view;   receiving the entity identifier using the evidence view; and   presenting the figure in the results view.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 processing one or more values of an experiment record to select the entity identifier; and   receiving the entity identifier in response to processing the one or more values of the experiment record.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 identifying the file,
 wherein the file comprises biomedical information, and 
 wherein the biomedical information comprises text and images. 
   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 presenting the figure, wherein the figure is evidence of biomedical information described in the file and by the result graph.   
     
     
         11 . A system comprising:
 an information controller configured to receive an entity identifier;   a search controller configured to search a plurality of result graphs; and   an application executing on one or more processors and configured for:
 receiving, by the information controller, the entity identifier; 
 searching, by the search controller, the plurality of result graphs using the entity identifier to identify a file comprising content corresponding to the entity identifier; 
 presenting a figure from the file in response to identifying the file,
 wherein the plurality of result graphs comprises a result graph generated from the file and corresponding to the figure. 
 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 receiving the entity identifier in response to a user selection of the entity identifier.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 receiving the entity identifier in response to processing a user selection to identify the entity identifier.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 receiving the entity identifier in response to a user selection of an alias of an entity corresponding to the entity identifier.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 receiving the entity identifier,
 wherein the entity identifier corresponds to an entity node of the result graph and corresponds to an entity record of an ontology library, and 
 wherein the entity record defines an entity as one of a protein, a gene, a disease, a cell line, a cell type, a tissue, a pathway, an organism, a chemical, and an application. 
   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 searching the plurality of result graphs to identify an entity node, of the result graph, corresponding to the entity identifier.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 presenting an evidence view adjacent to a results view;   receiving the entity identifier using the evidence view; and   presenting the figure in the results view.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 processing one or more values of an experiment record to select the entity identifier; and   receiving the entity identifier in response to processing the one or more values of the experiment record.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the application is further configured for:
 identifying the file,
 wherein the file comprises biomedical information, and 
 wherein the biomedical information comprises text and images. 
   
     
     
         20 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing system to perform operations comprising:
 receiving an entity identifier;   searching a plurality of result graphs using the entity identifier to identify a file comprising content corresponding to the entity identifier;   presenting a figure from the file in response to identifying the file,
 wherein the plurality of result graphs comprises a result graph generated from the file and corresponding to the figure.
